I SO agree. DARK SIDE OF THE MOON is one of my total favs. Human, cute, original, entertaining, philosophical, comic, cosmic, it's all there that I love about space, about people being fascinated by space, about the fascination itself... people seem to lose that magical feeling, Lepage captures it without goin all too visually. Great guy, gotta check out more of his outlet.

H'es good and he isn't good. As long as he doesn't forget what it was like when he was starting out and everybody thought he was crazy and nobody wanted to give him any funding. If they guy on the left came out with all that gushing crap about me I'd cut him short and say "Forget that crap, creativity is free and anybody can do it" Maybe one day I will!

Ce sont des visionnaires comme Robert Lepage qui me rendent fières d'être Québécoise.

That guy is a real genius...very rare kind of genius...he remembers me of Leonardo da Vinci...minus the paintings...but with a tremendous scope of imagination...Lepage is one of a kind...probably alone in the high sphere of artistic creativity...
